"Talking"
"Thinking"
"Kyubi Talking"
NineTailed Hyuga Servant
"Hokage Sama, I will leave right now, thank you for the information" Kitsune stood before Sarutobi, his eyes cold as ice as he spoke. The killing intent leaking from him making those in the building have goosebumps. He bowed swiftly and with a quick turn he headed for the door but was stopped by Sarutobi's shout.
"Kitsune!"
Kitsune froze in his spot, his hand only an inch away from the door knob, his cold calculating blue eyes staring intently on the door in front of him.
"You will stay here in Konoha, I already have a genin team ready to depart and meet with Kurenai's team"
Kitsune turned and with a monotone voice, slightly laced with anger he spoke "Two genin teams will not stop a former member of The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, and if its Zabuza Momochi, Demon of the Hidden Mist, then I must be there, as servant and body guard of Hinata Hyuga, heiress of Hyuga clan, it is my sworn duty to protect her, don't forget the deal you made with Hiashi sama, Hokage san"
Sarutobi froze at that and sighed as he rolled his fingers on his desk and stared at Naruto with slight sadness and anger.
"If you truly care about the heiress of the Hyuga clan, then you must let her go and trust in her teammates and back up team. She will rely on you too much Kitsune, especially if you always come running to her aid when she is in trouble, she is a Shinobi of Konoha, she must learn to handle situations on her own, just like you"
Kitsune didn't move a muscle, and with a grunt he turned and headed for the door again "When I know she's strong enough to stand on her own, then I won't come running to her aid, I will simply stand by and wait until I am needed, I was given this mission the day I was born, my life was made to protect Hinata sama, Hiashi sama, and Hanabi sama,"
Kitsunes tone suddenly changed, it went soft, his voice calm and collective, somehow at peace when he spoke "I made a promise with a very important person, on their death bed they begged me to watch out for all three of them, and I will do just that"
With that said, Kitsune walked out the door leaving a very sad and defeated Hokage. Looking out the window and watching a red blur racing across the rooftops of the village before it suddenly disappeared in thin air, Sarutobi could only sigh loudly and place his face in his hand "I shouldn't have allowed you into your parent's library"
Land of Waves
Kurenai stood beside Hinata, watching Kiba and Shino walking up and down on the trees of the forest. As Kiba walked up and down on the tree, he would suddenly lose his balance and fall off, while Akamaru barked at him making him shout back at his companion in slight anger an embarrassment "It's a lot harder than it looks Akamaru! I'm getting it, just watch!"
Shino would continue walking before jumping down and starting over again, his eyes would look the tree up and down before he would stare at his feet and simply think to himself, making Kurenai smile and Hinata giggle at how her teammates were trying very hard to accomplish the exercise their sensei gave them.
"How come Hinata isn't doing this!?" Looking over at the very confused Inuzuka, Kurenai blew a strand of hair from her face as she stared at her student while Hinata could only blush at the attention Kiba and Shino gave her.
Noticing Hinata's blush and now sudden shy posture, Kurenai shouted back, slight anger in her voice "Because she has been already taught this exercise and she can already do it on water to!"
Kiba could only stare at Hinata, his chin handing loosely as he stared at Hinata. Feeling this overwhelming sense of defeat but slight attraction, Kiba continued to watch Hinata as she pressed her index fingers together and look up at him with a blush on her face and soft smile.
His heart skipped a beat
With a raise of an eyebrow, Shino stared between his two teammates and sighed "of course, he has to be attracted to our teammate, it will only lead to bad things if he doesn't snap out of it" watching his teammate and sensei argue back and forth between each other Shino began walking on the tree, his brow furrowing in concentration as he walked in a steady pace.
"Come one Sensei! Can't you give us anymore hints? Hinata! Can you point us to the right direction?" Kiba pratically begged as he fell to his knees. When he went to stand up and argue again, he felt wisp of wind pass by his cheek, and followed with a thud.
Looking down, Kiba stared in shock at the kunai that was imbedded in the ground in front of him, quickly turning around he stared with wide eyes at Shino, sitting at the very top of the tree, staring down at his team.
"I don't need any pointers, I was able to figure it out on my own" Shinos montone voice somehow was able to make it to the ears of his team, making Kurenai and Hinata clap, while Kiba bowed his head and sighed "This is a lot harder than I thought"
Looking over at Hinata and kurenai, Kiba sat on the ground and took a breather while Akamaru licked Kiba's hand with affection and care.
"I almost got it Akamaru, I can feel it, don't worry about me!"
Akamaru barked and jumped on Kiba's lap in reply, what seemed to be a smile of encouragement on his face as he licked his companion's cheek, making Kiba smile.
Looking over at Hinata, Kiba let his curiosity take over, a question popping in his head which soon was placed on his tongue "Hey Hinata, who taught you this stuff?"
Hinata looked over at Kiba, happy to answer before someone beat her to the punch "I taught her subtle things so she would be prepared and ready when she went out on her missions for the Leaf"
Hinata gasped, while Kurenai, Shino, and Kiba looked up into the trees to see a familiar person laying on a branch lazily, cleaning what seemed to be a kunai with a rag.
A rag that was white but had some type of red smudges left from the kunai he cleaned
Kurenai was able to distinguish that it was blood on the rag, making her slightly uneasy, and questioning why Kitsune had blood on his kunai.
"K-kitsune!"
Kitsune ignored the others and suddenly disappeared from the branch and appeared before Hinata, his eyes looking over her form in upmost care and worry.
"You weren't injured Hinata sama? I heard your team came across Zabuza, I came as fast as I could"
Kurenai slightly scowled at Kitsune, but when he turned his gaze in her direction it died as quickly as it came and bowed her head slightly, her heart was pounding in her chest.
She couldn't believe that he could simply stop a person with a look alone, it truly showed how strong he was.
"I-im fine Kitsune, I'm s-sorry for making you w-worry" Hinata bowed her head in shame and embarrassment, her thoughts suddenly started taking over "If I was stronger, Naruto kun wouldn't be worried about me all the time"
Noticing Hinata's slight sadness, Kiba growled and walked up to toward the pair and placed his hand on Kitsune's shoulder, squeezing it slightly to show he meant business. Kiba smirked when he saw Kitsune shiver, thinking he was scared of the strength he had but as he did this he kept ignoring the slight whimpers that sounded like pleas coming from Akamaru.
"Hey! Why don't you leave her alo-"But Kiba's sentence died in his throat when he found his body flying backward, his eyes wide as he landed on the ground hard, on instinct he grabbed Akamaru from inside of his coat and held him high in the air as he skidded across the ground on his back.
Coming to a stop he groaned and felt a sudden rush of pain form in his head, starting from his forehead and slowly growing to the back of his head.
Looking up from where he laid, Kiba noticed the shocked looks from his team and looked over at Kitsune. His eyes widened as his pride was shot.
There stood Kitsune, his middle finger slowly coming down, meeting with is thumb, showing Kiba how he threw him.
By flicking him in the forehead
Hinata stood still, shock evident on her face, but hearing the groans of her teammate, Hinata stared at Kitsune and shook her head sadly, making him stand up straighter and close his eyes.
As Kitsune closed his eyes he breathed in deeply and relaxed, listening to his surroundings, when he heard the shuffle of feet, he knew it was Hinata who made the first move.
As she ran, Hinata noticed Shino was beside her, running toward Kiba too, but unlike Hinata, his face remained impassive except for the furrow of his brow. As Hinata closed the distance between her and Kiba, she stared down at him with worry painted on her face, quickly kneeling down beside Kiba, Hinata spoke out softly, watching as Akamaru licked his face in concern "Kiba kun, are you alright?"
Kiba nodded and groaned again as he sat up, his forehead slightly red, showing where Kitsune flicked him.
Kurenai suddenly snapped from her stupor as well and stood before Kitsune, swallowing down her fear as she spoke "Don't you ever touch my student!"
Kitsune looked up, the height difference obvious but his eyes were emotionless as he spoke, his voice more monotone than Shino's, slightly bordering on the robotic side "I don't allow people to touch me"
Looking over at her friend and sensei, Hinata noticed how Kitsune began to tap his index finger against his leg, standing up as quickly as she could she shouted out at the pair, hoping to distract Kitsune from what he wanted to do "Kitsune, come here right now and heal Kiba!"
Kurenai snapped her attention toward Hinata in shock and pride, she couldn't believe what she just heard. Hinata yelled at Kitsune, with upmost anger and respect but of course when she noticed the looks everyone around her gave, she blushed and shouted but more softly and shy "P-please"
Kitsune looked over Kurenai and walked away, coming toward Kiba, he ignored the growl Akamaru gave and knelt beside Hinata and placed his left hand on Kiba's forehead.
Muttering something to himself, Kitsune closed his eyes and at the same moment his hands began to glow a soft green, making Shino raise an eyebrow and watch as Kitsune healed his teammate "The Anbu are extraordinary people"
Kiba blushed slightly from the warm feeling the green chakra gave, knowing he was being healed he stared at Kitsune with anger and slight fear, "This guy was able to knock me down by just flicking me… How is that even possible, man, these Anbu guys are serious when it comes to fighting"
Hinata smiled softly at how Kitsune helped Kiba stand up but it was short lived when she noticed how Kitsune gripped Kiba's arm tightly and whispered in his ear.
She wasn't able to hear it, but by how Kiba's face paled, she could only guess that he warned him not to get on his nerves.
"Kitsune, apologize to my student, I don't care what rank you are, he deserves an apology"
Looking over his shoulder, Kitsune was able to see Kurenai standing behind him, her arms crossed and glare slightly wavering from the glare he gave her, but when he felt someone tug on his sleeve, he looked over at Hinata and noticed her mouthing 'Please'
With a sigh he looked at Kiba and spoke as he bowed "Forgive me Kiba san for my rash behavior"
Looking Kitsune up and down, Kiba scoffed and waved his hand as he looked away "Ya ya, its fine, I kind of deserved it, being Hinata's slave or guard or whatever, it's kind of your duty to make sure she's ok"
Kitsune stared at Kiba, slightly surprised at how this knucklehead of a ninja was able to comprehend that it was his job to watch out for Hinata for as long as he lived.
Sensing Hinata's anger, he quickly tried to change the conversation but Hinata beat him to the punch "Kitsune is not my slave, or my body guard, he is my friend, someone I cherish very much"
Kitsune could only sigh at that, a smile slowly building hidden behind his mask as he spoke "Your words are very kind Hinata sama, and I also think of you as one of my precious people, but don't forget I AM your servant and body guard"
Watching Hinata look away, a frown evident on her face, Kitsune sighed and looked at Kurenai "I want you to go into full detail on what happened, after that I'm going to scout around to see if I can find anything, the Hokage is also sending another team to help us,"
Looking Kitsune up and down while folding her arms, Kurenai softly glared as she spoke "If the Hokage was sending another team, he wouldn't have sent you, two jounin against one missing nin sounds fair and with six genins, bandits wouldn't be a problem"
Walking past Kurenai, Kitsune spoke as he made his way toward the trunk of a tree "The Hokage didn't send me, I came here myself, but the Hokage does know I am here, and he is fine with it"
Kurenai followed after Kitsune, standing beside him as he sat down and relaxed against the trunk of the tree, his index fingers tapping against his thigh as he listened to his surroundings "The most feared man in Konoha and maybe the shinobi nations came to protect a Jounin and a Genin team, how cute"
Kitsune shook his head, his icy blue eyes going soft as he spoke "I came here to protect one Genin, no one else, it isn't my job to watch out for you or the two boys"
Staring at Kitsune, Kurenai could only shake her head in disbelief as she sat down beside Kitsune, an easy two feet separating them as she spoke "So tell me, how did someone like you become a 'Slave' or 'Body guard' for the Hyuga heiress? Did the Hyuga clan hire you?"
Kitsune stared at Hinata, Kurenai noticing the care and worry burning in his eyes as he spoke "You can believe whatever you want to believe"
Kurenai scoffed and looked between Kitsune and Hinata, smiling to herself she looked over her students "I can see that you truly do care about Hinata, and judging by your eyes, you are not part of the Hyuga clan, and the way Hinata acts around you, she seems to have known you for a long time"
Kitsune gave a soft hum as he closed his eyes and relaxed, listening to the wind blowing softly through the leafs "You can believe whatever you want to believe, but right now I want you to tell me what happened, I came across your two dipshits you left by the side of the road,"
"I was able to find out they were working with Zabuza, he was hired by some other figure to kill Tazuna before he built the bridge, that's all I was able to get out of them" Kurenai smiled softly to herself, she knew she wasn't good when it came to interrogation but she was happy she was able to get the information.
"You're right, they work for Zabuza and Zabuza was hired by Gato, a crime boss who has been stealing money, valuables, and even has been taking women and children to sell them into sex slave trafficking"
Kurenai nodded, slightly upset that Kitsune was able to get that out of the two missing nin but pushed her feelings aside and spat in disgust "Tazuna was able to inform us of Gato, and when meeting with Zabuza it's only a matter of time before he heals up and comes back to finish the job"
Kitsune nodded, feeling the wave of anger coming from Kurenai "How can this sick bastard do the things he does? He destroys families, sales women, kills men, and bankrupts everyone, only leaving crumbs that even mice wouldn't even want to eat"
Nodding in agreement, Kitsune stood up and twisted his upper body side to side, his back popping in the process "I'm going to scout around, stay here and train them as much as you can. Zabuza will come back, and they need to be ready, with Kakashi and his team, we won't have to worry about them not being battle ready"
Kurenai nodded in agreement, Team seven was Sakura Haruno, Sasuke Uchiha, and a boy named Sai, each were in their own way ready for fighting, something Kurenai and Kitsune knew, knowing that Kakashi was their teacher. As lazy as he was, when he saw someone with flawed attributes and they worked alongside him, he wanted them a hundred percent.
"When I'm looking around, I'll try to see if I can find Gato's hideout, if I can attack the source of the diseases, I'll stop the plague"
Kurenai looked up at Kitsune, her eyes wide "Wait, what will you do if you find his hideout?" She understood what his phrase meant but she didn't know if he was going to kill him, or stop him and let the villagers handle it.
Kitsune looked at her, his blue eyes now cold as he spoke, his voice now monotone "If I can attack the source of the disease I can stop the plague"
And with that, Kitsune jumped into the air, and while Kurenai followed his trail she could only stare in awe at how he disappeared into thin air, she only blinked while he was in midair and only after she blinked he was gone.
'His speed…its unnatural…how can someone so young be so powerful?'
Hey guys I hope you liked this chapter sorry it took a long time, my dog got fixed so I was watching him a lot, also again sorry for their being no action. Action will soon come, but right now I want to keep away from that and have you guys more engrossed in how Hinata, Naruto, and other characters are in my story.
Other than that, please leave a review they always brighten up my day, and please review if you see any minor or big mistakes or if you want something in this story. With me being a reader as well, I know how it feels to find the story extremely good but has minor flaws like grammar or they just add something completely random messing with the flow of the story.
Glad you guys are still here and hope you stay for more! Cya till next time!
